Hey, Penguins fans! It's your hockey Jesus here with a quick wrap-up of last night's heartbreaker against the Calgary Flames. We were cruising with a 3-1 lead, but in true Penguins fashion, we let it slip away in the final minutes, ending up with a 4-3 loss. It's a tough pill to swallow, especially when we were looking like a lock for those two points.
Gruden netted his first NHL goal (congrats, kid!), and Eller was on point with a power play goal. We were outshooting the Flames like crazy, but Jari just wasn't tested enough, and when crunch time came, well, he and the defense just couldn't hold the fort.
Letang, oh Letang, had a meltdown we're all trying to wrap our heads around. And without Rust and Gensel, and with Malkin's goal drought since January, things are looking grim. Raquel's not fitting in, and Smith seems like he's got one foot out the door.
I've heard some chatter about firing Sully, but who's gonna step in? Todd Reardon? Can he magically fix all our woes? Doubtful. It's looking like it might be time to blow it up and start fresh, but that's a tough call to make.
So, what's next for our Pens? Well, they're back at it tonight, and we've got to keep the faith. Hit that subscribe button, join me on the porch for all the ups and downs, and let's see where this rollercoaster of a season takes us. Keep the faith, Penguins fans, and let's go Pens!
